title: The edentulous mandible opposing maxillary natural teeth. Treatment considerations.
abstract: Treatment of a patient who requires a mandibular complete prosthesis opposing a natural maxillary dentition presents a unique set of problems for the clinician. Proper prosthodontic care can not only result in a functional and comfortable prosthesis, but may reduce the rate of resorption of the remaining mandibular ridge.
